Lib Dem Pre-Manifesto 10 point Plan - Debate post

I have put the 10 point plan in the sidebar (blogroll). I have also copied it below. If we find that there is a particular debate about any specific item then I will put in a specific entry for that.

    Top ten reasons to vote Liberal Democrat
  • Put patients first - free doctors and nurses from Whitehall meddling.
  • Free personal care when you need it – no one forced to sell their home to pay for care.
  • No tuition fees, no top-up fees – university affordable for every student.
  • More investment in children’s early years – spend the £1 billion Child Trust Fund money when it matters most.
  • 10,000 more police on the streets – cutting crime and the fear of crime.
  • £25 more on the pension every week at 75 – a million pensioners off means-testing.
  • Free off-peak local transport – for all pensioners and disabled people.
  • Axe the Council Tax – Local Income Tax is both fair and affordable.
  • We should not have gone to war in Iraq – it’s time to restore trust in the Government.
  • Take the environment seriously - cut pollution, cut congestion, and boost renewable energy.

These are taken from the printed version of the pre-manifesto document. For more details, see the full document and conference motion (links above).

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
